Now from Nancy:
Favorite Bible Verse
I love God’s Word so picking just one Bible verse is hard. But I think a lot about Psalm 91. I guess the part I recite and lean on the most is: Psalm 91: 14-16 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.”
These are such encouraging promises. We will never be alone. We can count on God to deliver us from anything we go through. And we can believe for a long and satisfying life.

Nancy Shares a Recipe From Her Mom
My mother loved Christmas and always went out of her way to make it special for us, even after she and my father divorced and funds were tight.
This is something she made every year. I lost my mom when I was thirty. I make this cheese ball almost every Christmas, and when I do, I think of her.
Cheese Ball
Ingredients
(2) 3 oz. packages of cream cheese
½ lb. finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
½ lb. Velveeta cheese
1 or 2 tablespoons minced garlic (Adjust according to how much garlic you like)
½ cup pecan bits (Or you can use nut topping. The smaller the pieces the better this recipe works.)
Directions: Soften cheeses and then mix together with garlic and ¼ cup nuts. Make into ball and roll in remaining nuts. Refrigerate. You can also freeze this.
*I usually double the recipe because people like it so much. I serve it with Wheat Thins or Triscuits.
About Nancy's Most Recent Release - Free Fall
The closer she comes to the truth, the deadlier her chase gets.
FBI behavioral analyst Alex Donovan and her colleague Logan Hart have been called upon to write a profile for a missing woman, but a little digging quickly turns up more disappearances in Virginia with the same physical description.
Alex is in a race against the clock to rescue the missing victims, so when the UNSUB makes demands of her in exchange for information, Alex takes the bait. But when her life is put in jeopardy, Logan must do whatever it takes to track them down before time runs out.
Alex works to think one step ahead of the suspect, but the more Logan and the BAU learn about the serial kidnapper, the more they fear Alex may not make it out alive.
